Bush Street Victorian, 2416 Bush Street

This elegant Italianate rowhouse, circa 1882, with its classic bold cornice supported by decorated brackets, and its half hexagonal bay, has been restored and tastefully painted. Inside is a living room (with working fireplace), formal dining room, remodeled kitchen, and half bath. The kitchen, with oak cabinets, tile and butcher block countertops, and a nice eating area, opens directly to a large deck and lovely landscaped yard with mature trees. Upstairs are four bedrooms and a full bath. The front bedroom has a working fireplace, a rear bedroom opens to a very private deck, and the full bath has been newly remodeled. There is also a rear shed that contains washer/dryer hookups and considerable storage. The main level has lightly stained oak flooring with carpeting upstairs. Both levels are very bright and sunny because this house is entirely detached.. The ornate Victorian detailing, typical for this era, is intact, including high ceilings, a handsome bannister, two marble fireplace mantles, mouldings, and medallions.

Systems have been upgraded with newer electric service (100 amp main), circuit breakers, and copper supply plumbing. Two thirds of the foundation has been replaced with concrete, both rear decks rebuilt, and new front doors with etched glass panels installed. The brick parking pad in the front will accommodate a small car. This charming home is so San Francisco and ready for immediate move in.
